Aluminum

Aluminum is a metal refined from Aluminum Ore.

Usage

 * As a Refined Metal, Aluminum can be used to build advanced Power systems, buildings, and Automation systems.
 * An Exosuit Forge can produce Atmo Suit with Aluminum.
 * 300 kg Aluminum or Copper or Iron + 2 unit Reed Fiber = 1 unit Atmo Suit. (This is a waste of Aluminum, however.)
 * Aluminum has high thermal conductivity of 205, which is higher than Diamond and second only to Thermium. This makes it an ideal material for heat-conducting Metal Tiles, Tempshift Plates, and Radiant Liquid/Gas Pipes.
 * With only half the melting point of iron, it is not suitable for extremely high temperature environments.

Production

 * Metal Refinery, where Duplicants can produce Aluminum from Aluminum Ore in 1:1 ratio.
 * 100 kg Aluminum Ore = 100 kg Aluminum.
 * Smooth Hatches can eat Aluminum Ore and excrete Aluminum.
 * Rock Crusher, where Duplicants can produce Aluminum from Aluminum Ore too. This is not recommended due to lower efficiency of 50%.
 * 100 kg Aluminum Ore = 50 kg Aluminum + 50 kg Sand.
